1 | While writing the devmanual patch that I agreed to write for removal of |
2 | eclasses I came across the very vague definition of "deprecating" |
3 | eclasses before removal. Ulrich(last name ommitted to avoid stabbing ;-) ) |
4 | and we came up with the following for the process of deprecating an |
5 | eclass: |
6 | |
7 | a. make sure nothing in the tree uses it any more |
8 | b. announce deprecation on -dev |
9 | c. put a warning in pkg_setup |
10 | d. add a line containing exactly "# @DEAD" for vapier's man pages |
11 | |
12 | Please vote so we don't have to go over this in a meeting. I personally |
13 | am fine with it, but my vote matters little. |
